Workquake

Highly recommend the book “Workquake” by Steve Cadigan for anyone interested in navigating the future landscape of work. It further reinforces the need for companies to adopt a people-centered talent optimization approach in combination with coaching to help hire and grow their people.

Here are some nuggets from the book:

“The focus should move away from trying to keep your job and move toward ensuring you are developing and growing so that you are employable and immune to disruptions.”

“Your ability to learn new skills, not the skills themselves, will allow you to weather any career change. This is the ultimate career insurance.”

“There is something far more valuable than knowing stuff: knowing people who know stuff.”

“The greatest periods of growth are in those periods of dislocation and disconnection and reinvention.”
